Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time.【2】 For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider postponing your trip until the fall. Ask others for assistance.【3】 Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks’ notice before you start off.【4】Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e-mail inbox so you don’t exceed (超越) your storage limit while you’re out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return.【5】In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to work free and worry free on holiday.A．Ask trusted colleagues to handle your projects while you’re away.B．A summertime beach vacation includes so much more than what you desire these days.C．But the truth is that you can’t afford not to take one.D．This will give them enough time to plan for your absence.E. Also make sure passwords won’t expire(期满) while you are away.F. What’s more, find your pet a temporary home when you are on vacation.G. When planning your vacation, remember to take into account any activity that your department will be focused on during that time.2.阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）【1】The air was pleasant and the music was loud in the vast square in front of the New York State office building in Harlem(哈莱姆，美国纽约市黑人居住区) as health advocates（支持者，提倡者） set up information tables for Harlem wellness Week. It was a wide-ranging effort to educate people about non-communicable diseases: Heart disease, cancer, lung disease, obesity, and so on.【2】There is an economic effect caused by these diseases, especially in Harlem, one of the city’s poorest districts. Without healthy employees and healthy customers, you cannot have healthy business, says Patricia Ricketts of the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors Wellness Week.【3】Dr. Jo Ivy Boufford is president of the New York Academy of Medicine, a Wellness Week partner. She says education about better nutrition is important, but that people with low incomes often lack the means to put what they know into practice. But there is hope. New York is very active in adovating good, effective public health policies. “New York City has banned smoking in public places, bot h indoors and outdoors. That is a fantastic example of what can be done, without having any impact on the economy. It is a city where you have bike paths. That is a good message for the world, because bikes make your transport active. That is good for your health and lowers air pollution,” she said.【4】“It is not enough to focus on the management of disease through medication,” Dr. Boufford says. “That’s why health advocates will be trying to persuade UN officials during Wellness Week to pass resolutions that deal with road and transport design and construction and other potential causes of non-communicable diseases.”【1】What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8words)【2】Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph【4】.(no more than3words)_______________ the management of disease through medication is not enough.【3】What noninfectious diseases are mentioned in the text?( no more than 6 words)【4】why not?

It seemed 26 that she would be punished.When Mrs. Jones came up to the judge（法官）, he looked at her seriously and said that she was 27 old to drive a car, and that the reason why she had not stopped at the red 28 was most probably that her eyes had become weak 29 old age, so that she had not seen it.When the judge had finished what he was 30 .

So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs , teachers find students’ posture(姿势) and attention improve.Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey(调查) of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan,” says Witt, “ Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter（直的）. You can slouch(低头垂肩地坐)on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels bad.” Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen( 氧气) to the brain , so the kids have more energy and can pay attention longer. “Besides, they’re fun.” says Pownall.【1】What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will_________.A．pay more attention to his lessons B．be funC．like to move around D．sit up straighter【2】How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?A．About four years.B．Only one year.C．In 2008.D．Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.【3】In how many countries are the balls used as the students’ chairs?A．Four.B．Three.C．Two.D．One.【4】Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _________.A．improve the students’ posture and attentionB．slouch on the chairsC．have funD．Both A and C are correct answers【5】Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?A．Sitting on a chair.B．Sitting on a ball.C．They are the same.D．We don’t know.2.There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects（物体） with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap(裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for (代表)a kind of light with a certain wavelength(波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs(感觉器官).According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a p erson walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.【1】The idea of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.A．a red box is heavier than a white oneB．a colo r has weight in one’s mindC．white paper is lighter than red paperD．you can know the weight of a color by holding it【2】Why did the scientist say colors have smell?A．Because people can sense(感觉) the light from colors.B．Because we can smell colors with our noses.C．Because every color has its own sweet smell.D．Because every color can give off light of the same length.【3】If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will__________.A．rise B．fall C．stay the same D．change now and then 【4】It can be known from the text that________.A．colors have order in weightB．colors can change the weight of an objectC．people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD．colors can affect （影响）our mood （情绪）and health【5】This passage is probably a __________.A．book review B．history textbook C．travel magazine D．science report3.1. The Dream It is everyone’s dream to work at home or not work at all. You can plan your own hours and work when you want to. There is no more rush hour and no hours that people waste when they get to and from a job every day.2. The Fact The fact is that this dream can be attained.

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “ Yo u should have goals(目标）like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain- climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging(挑战) for me because I was only ten years old.During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the bird’s singing. But as time passed, I got a pain （痛）in both of my legs. I wanted to give up climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before reaching the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.【1】According to the passage, which advantage that the writer got from climbing the mountain with his father isn’t mentioned?A．Deep thought.B．Exercise.C．Patience.D．Communication.【2】The underlined word “crystal” in the passage means _______.A．岩石B．火焰C．水晶D．寒冰【3】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined words in the second paragraph?

So if it’s something that happened when I was younger, my emotions are about what I felt then. I also re-experience pain. For example, I remember falling over and hurting my left knee when I was three. When talking about it now, I’m getting pain in my left knee.”However, there are times when Rebecca’s memories prove to be too overwhelming, and she has learnt relaxation and mindfulness(聚神) techniques to solve. “At school, it is a hindrance. I’m not very quick at processing things, so there is always so much going through my mind. At night, I have to sleep with the radio on and a soft light. If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind just recalls all these memories and I can’t sleep,” Rebecca said.In addition, Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative – recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic (创伤后的) stress disorder. Rebecca said, “Recently, I went back to my old school for my sister’s high school graduation. Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back. I burst into tears and had to leave.”Rebecca and her mother Mrs. Barnes got in touch with the University of California in 2011. It was there that Rebecca knew she had Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). It’s reported that Rebecca is one of just 80 people worldwide, who have HASM. “Finding out about HASM has been such a positive experience. Now, Rebecca has been more positive and able to do thin gs independently, which has been excellent,” Mrs. Barnes said.【1】What’s wrong with Rebecca?A．She hardly sleeps well at night.B．She usually gets hurt easily by others.C．She can’t distinguish between reality and dreams.D．Her vivid memories lead her to experience sufferings.【2】What does the underlined word “hindrance” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Priority B．Difficulty.C．Advantage.D．Opportunity.【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A．Rebecca had a strong dislike of going to school.B．Rebecca was moved to tears at her sister’s graduation.C．Rebecca and her sister once studied in the same school.D．Rebecca enjoyed a happy life during her high school years.【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Rebecca_____.A．has got her life improved graduallyB．was influenced by her mother to be positiveC．was admitted into the University of CaliforniaD．became well-known due to her rare condition2.In Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.Short daysMost high schools in Germany begin at about 8:00 a.m. and end at about 3:30 p.m. This means your morning willbe busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private(私人的) clubs after school. Formal settingIn Germany, teachers and students’ relationship is more formal than you might b e used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie（德语：您）” when talking to teachers.Getting to schoolMost students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.Private clubsIn many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. After-school activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, choir, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.Different states, different schoolsEach of Germany’s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems. The school system in Brandenburgwill be a little different from the system in Bavaria for example. Where you live, your knowledge level and your age will decide what school you can attend.【1】For high school students in Germany, which is NOT the common transport to school?A．Parents’ cars B．School busesC．Public transport D．Students’ bicycles【2】From the passage, we can learn that in Germany _______.A．all kinds of high schools are for collegeB．students can join private clubs to meet their interestsC．students can take part in after-school activities from 8:00 a. m .to 3:30 p.m.D．age is not important for attending schools【3】What can be the best title for this article?A．German High Schools B．German Public TransportC．German Private Clubs D．German College Systems3.Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tifany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audreya goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War II. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.【1】In Paragraph 1, “her aid work” means ___________.A．winning an Academy Award as Best ActressB．taking acting parts in stage showsC．acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEFD．making her own movies【2】The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that __________.A. she wanted to be a ballerinaC. her parents were from BritainB. it was safe there【3】We can infer from the passage that ___________ .A．Audrey’s parents lived in German y during World War IIB．Audrey lived in America in the 1950sC．Audrey was made to give up dancingD．the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play was her most popular role【4】_______ is the right order for Audrey’s life.①The first time she began to play in movies.②She returned to London from the Netherlands.③She won an Academy Award as Best Actress.④She travelled all over the world in support of UNlCEF projects.⑤She played a part in My Fair Lady.A．①②⑤③④B．①②③⑤④C．②①⑤③④D．②①③⑤④4.The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!【1】What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?A．His job requirements.B．His personal experience.C．His interest in invention.D．A traditional washboard.【2】Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A．The invention was not so convenient.B．Clothes couldn’t be washed well.C．The bag couldn’t contain enough water.D．The cost of the invention was very high.【3】It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.A．turns to be much environmentally friendlierB．will replace the traditional washing machinesC．can encourage more people to travel a long distanceD．will be widely used by more travelers in the future【4】What is the passage mainly about?A．Introducing a great new invention.B．Explaining the development of backpackC．Listing some common problems for travelers.D．Comparing two kinds of washing machines.二、其他Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries? Whether your worries arebig or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.Try to find out the causes.【1】Sometimes you know it, but sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what y our worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even though it might not be so easy.【2】There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem.【3】. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:·How do I get ready for class? Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?·Do I have a good place to do my homework?·【4】If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do—write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her etc. . Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.Ask for help.When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with.【5】They will help you analyze(分析)your problems carefully and solve them easily.A．Have I tried different ways of studying?B．Grades at school are often a top worry for students.C．Think of the ways to improve grades.D．You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.E. How can I improve my grades?F. Think of the ways to make it better.G. The first step is to find out what you’re worried about.三、完形填空A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft.

安徽高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You’ll findthat some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!★Tomatina — Bunol, SpainEvery last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.★ Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.★ Holi — IndiaHoli, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. Duringthe day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.★ International Pillow Fight Day — WorldwideTens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013. From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly.【1】According to the author, _______________.A．there should be festivals celebrated by the whole worldB．festivals give people the best chances to experience a cultureC．it’s usually hard for people to accept a different cultureD．festivals in a certain culture often change with time【2】We learn from the passage that _______________.A．the town of Bunol in Spain is on a riverB．cosmetic products sell well on Boryeong Mud FestivalC．International Pillow Fight Day has a short historyD．Holi is the greatest festival for Indian people【3】The passage is most likely to be found in __________.A．a personal diaryB．a technical reportC．a geography bookD．a travel magazine2.China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them，all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However，people still use their bicycles to get around. For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴)my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a “pack” of bi kers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the UnitedStates. The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive. 【1】According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?A．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.B．Because they are traditional and safe.C．Because they are colorful and available.D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.【2】The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended .A．to ride it for funB．to use it for transportC．to experience local cultureD．to improve his riding skills【3】How did the author feel about his street crossing?A．It was boringB．It was wonderful.C．It was lively.D．It was difficult.【4】Which of the following can BEST describes the author's biking experience?A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C．The author was praised by the other bikers.D．The author took great pleasure in biking.3.Dr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humour. Participants （参加者）are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favourite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves. By December 2001 over 10, 000 jokes had been submitted. This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance.“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour, ” said Dr. Wiseman. “Males use humour to appear superior to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play. ”Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. What’s the second question?”The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.【1】Scientist started “ the laugh lab” project________A．to find the funniest joke in European countriesB．to get more personal details about participantsC．to know what funny people are like from different nations and culturesD．to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour【2】We can infer from the passage that________.A．most of the people all over the world are completely honestB．people tell the truth about themselves only when they laughC．ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab” project at allD．psychologists and philosophers take interest in the “laugh lab” project【3】According to the passage, we can safely say that ________.A．Jokes created by computer are less appealing to people.B．Men and women have similar senses of humour.C．The project lasted from September, 2001 to December, 2001.D．Scientists have collected enough evidence to make final conclusions.【4】What is the best title for the passage?A．Funny or not?B．Laugh louder!C．Men laugh better.D．Watch out for the trap in jokes!4.If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste，a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)．If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.【1】What can people do at the apple events?A．Attend experts' lectures.B．Visit fruit-loving families.C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D．Taste many kinds of apples.【2】What can we learn about Decio?A．It is a new variety.B．It has a strange look.C．It is rarely seen now.D．It has a special taste.【3】What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．A practical idea.B．A vain hope.C．A brilliant plan.D．A selfish desire.【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To show how to grow apples.B．To introduce an apple festival.C．To help people select apples.D．To promote apple research.二、其他Top Tips for Travelling AbroadTravelling abroad，for business or pleasure，should be a fun experience，【1】Plan well in advance for your trip，be prepared for what you might experience，and protect yourself as best as you can from any accidents. Here are some tips：·Check you are fit for travel. Before you book your trip abroad you should be aware of any health problems at your destination.【2】Besides this，you should make sure you receive the necessary vaccines(疫苗)．·【3】Don't forget to take your medication with you. You can carry your medication on the plan with you. It is wise to take the double amount of medication that you need—put half in your carry­on bag and half in your “in the hold” bag. That way，if your carry-on bag gets stolen，you still have your medication in your hold bag.·【4】Your medication makes your skin weaker，so protect it from sun by wearing sunscreen，a hat，and seeking shade where possible. Also，you may find that you are more sensitive to the heat，so drink plenty of water，and carry a hand fan.·Eat and drink wisely. While abroad，drink bottled water and even clean your teeth with bottled water. Take extra care with your diet，so avoid any stomach upsets. If you travel to second or third world countries，eat vegetables and fruit that have been cooked.【5】If in doubt，speak to a medical person to check what foods to avoid.A．Check your medicine，ticket，passport and credit card.B．Avoid eating uncleaned food，shellfish and even foods like ice cream.C．Just remember the three “p” s.D．On the website，you can search for travel advice on individual countries.E．You should check about your fitness to travel to certain countries.F．Travel insurance is a must.G．Protect yourself against the sun and heat.三、完形填空My six-year-old granddaughter，who is called Caitlyn，stopped with me at a cake shop to buy some treats.

Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake---not very much, butuncontrollably.The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of the cold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering. Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments. But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working quickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently. Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat.Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of "rewarming" a person needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.【1】According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.A．he feels cold so he shakes deliberately.B．he can drink some wine to stop the shaking.C．he should be sent to the hospital immediately.D．some common treatments can help him recover.【2】Which of the following expression can take the place of the underlined words?A．break into B．break downC．knock into D．sweep up【3】When people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia, which of the following statement is WRONG? _________A．If hypothermia isn’t treated correctly, the victim’s heart may not beat normally.B．Their body temperature drops below 35℃.C．Hypothermia victims seem alive but dead.D．The rescue workers should first help them warm slowly and gently in a proper situation.【4】What’s the best title for the text? _____.A．Different kinds of hypothermiaB．Medical help is important in treating hypothermiaC．How to avoid cold-weather injuries.D．Emergency treatment for different types of hypothermia.3.When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green."Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint. “She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes ( 条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother.I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on mymother’s face, I could tell that I w as in deep trouble.My mother shut the ear door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now!" I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art."Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.【1】What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?A．To introduce Stephanie to her.B．To prevent her from seeing his painting.C．To show his artwork to her.D．To put the materials back in the yard.【2】In his mother's eyes, the writer _____________.A．was a born artist B．worked very hardC．was a problem solver D．always caused trouble【3】The underlined word "rainbow" in the last paragraph refers to _____________.A．something imaginative and fun B．the stripes on the pavementC．the rainbow in the sky D．important lessons learned in childhood【4】It can be learned from the passage that parents should______________ .A．encourage children to paint B．value friendship among childrenC．protect rather than destroy children's dreams D．discover the hidden talent in children4.Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamins-enriched water, the rats did seem to develop it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-formed habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.【1】In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats’ drinking water to _________.A．test whether rats know which drink is good for themB．encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched waterC．find out rats’ preference in flavorD．demonstrate the vitamins are tasteless【2】According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because _________.A．adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their healthB．adults’ eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customsC．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patternsD．adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods【3】As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that ________.A．both prefer flavored food and drinkB．both have the same eating patternsC．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietD．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors二、其他A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 【1】Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways【2】After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants.【3】That means harmful material may get into our food supply.【4】Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics.【5】And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.A．It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.B．But people can make a big difference.C．Plastics should be gathered together and reused..D．It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.E. Then, fish may eat the plastics.F. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.G. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters三、完形填空I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage(按揭), credit cards, success.
